Kane comes off the LONG run at Rachele after failing to back up Showdown talk - Sunday Footy Show

The Sunday Footy Show panel reacts to the big talking points from the Showdown, with Dan Houston facing a lengthy ban for his hit on Izak Rankine, and Josh Rachele's jibes at Port Adelaide.

Then later, the Showdown Medallist himself, Zak Butters, joins the show.

Looks like Rachele is never going to be a father seeing as he always pulls out early

[TheDuffcat]

Kane: "port fans have no teeth" is not a particularly funny joke

Kane 15 minutes later: runs the same teeth joke on tj for 100 millionth time

[eggspanda]

I think both sides of the argument are correct. houston did execute a fair bump but he also failed his duty of care.
which means theres a very good chance he wont be playing again this year.

[Lee-ccjf]

There was 4 umpires in the game and not one payed a free kick or reported Houston.

[Danny]

Im a crows fan and I 100% agree on Rachelle. Big mouth and no action to back it up. That contest he shirked was really damning he does it pretty much every week.

[vigour]

Well said from Lloyd, you would never hear the best players in the league saying nonsense like that about another clubs supporters, it's immature and only goes to affect your reputation in the football community.

I like how I can watch The Round so Far and hear Kayne give his opinion. Then watch the Sunday Footy Show and listen to Kayne give exactly the same opinion again. The AFL media seems to have too many jobs and not even staff. These guys have about 5 jobs.

If Rechele keeps carrying on like he is, he might end up with no teeth.

[kadachiman]

Thilthorpe kicks 5 on debut, Rachelle kicks 5 on debut...we never see it again?
Players get selected on raw talent but once they get into the system it is drilled into them to play like robots or lose their the coaches....bye Nicks

Why is Hawthorn going so well? because Sam Mitchell lets them play with that raw talent that they were selected its infectious.

[StuTheDon]

Kane is right.
You'd want to be near perfect as a footballer before you go mouthing off about opposition fans. To say what he said and then play a soft and anonymous game is plain embarrassing on his behalf.
He needs to worry about improving his output so he can prolong his career and forget about the smack talk. It is evident he is unable to do both.

[jamesmilka]

Cornes might have to go for a very long run again. Build up some brownie points 😂

[danielbrennan]

Every Vol-kane-o segment is about how Kane feels about a players celebration and whether or not the celebration is justified. Great journalism...

[WillyWanka]

Send offs would only be for a Barry Hall vs Staker punch type situation. What if you send someone off and it is the wrong call...

[el-violador]

Graham Cornes should have pulled out more often

[bayden]

To be fair, most port Adelaide supporters have no teeth, so what's the problem 🤷‍♂️

[el-violador]

If Rankine got 4 for his head clash with Starcevich, Houston can't get any less. Initial contact was high chest but he was out before he hit the ground with the force of the impact. Also no mention of the Port supporters chorus of boos as the med car went past?

[dustdiaries]

Could you imagine that Barret playing footy ! A push would have made him cry !

[greenbane]

Not sure what’s so hard for the boys to understand, just back up the talk with a good performance.

[ideaphile]

Any suspension would be a joke. A solid bump caused no harm, the fall did. With Rachele, it's better to have no teeth than no guts.

[lovegod]

Either you bump like Houston, or forced to pull out like teethman. Can’t criticise both.
